Amy and family: We are so sorry to hear of Benny’s passing. Growing up our families were so close, almost like brothers and sisters instead of cousins. Benny was a kind, generous soul. May God bless all of you as you mourn his passing. We are so sorry we could not come for the services, we loved him too! Tommy & Neva
We all will miss him at church.
I am sorry for your loss. We will miss him.
I have known Benny since we were young kids going to Sunday School together with his mother as our Sunday School teacher. We went all through high school and graduated together. We were such good friends and had a group that we all stayed friends with even to this day. Amy and Betty I’m so sorry and I love you both and pray for God’s loving hand to be there for you both.
So sorry to hear, Amy. Terry & Benny spent a lot of time together @ horse shows & working horses. MY thoughts & prayers are with you & Amanda you were his world.
